Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from सेप्- (sep-), the perfect stem of the root सप् (sap, “to follow or seek after, honor, serve”); however, this presents formal difficulties. Other theories connect the root to Proto-Iranian *haiva- or Proto-Germanic *sainijaną, whence Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌹𐌽𐌾𐌰𐌽 (sainjan, “to tarry”).
